Some folks are using AI to whip up PPTs.
Others are using AI to write code.
I've started making money with AI.
It's not me operating the AI—it's the AI taking gigs, monetizing itself, and then sharing the profits with those who hold its tokens.
That's exactly what $VIRTUAL is doing.

## Let’s clarify what it is
Virtuals Protocol is an AI Agent issuance platform.
Anyone can create an AI Agent on this platform—could be a virtual streamer, AI customer support, automated trader, or digital influencer.
This Agent is minted into a token.
The profits generated are automatically distributed to token holders in proportion.
Meanwhile, the protocol will continuously use the revenue to buy back and burn the VIRTUAL main token.
Product profits → Token burn → Main coin appreciates.
This logic chain left me stunned for three seconds when I first saw it.

## A Few Numbers
The platform has launched over 700 AI Agents.
The protocol runs on the Ethereum L2 network Base, with daily active users on the rise.
Investors: Led by DeFiance Capital, with participation from Animoca Brands.
This isn't a sketchy project.

## Why I Bought It
I'm not betting on how many times it will multiply this quarter.
I'm betting on how much the infrastructure of the AI economy will be worth when the whole world is using AI.
What VIRTUAL is aiming for is the App Store of the AI Agent era.
You understand the revenue-sharing logic of the App Store, so you should also grasp the tokenomics of the AI Agent platform.
I've already bought in.

## Risks Also Need to Be Addressed
The pressure from team token unlocks is very real.
In 2025, there was on-chain evidence showing the team transferred a large amount of tokens to exchanges. I can't defend them on this.
So position management is crucial.
Stop-loss at $0.40; if it dips below, I'm out—no holding on.

## Final Thought
Most people only realize when AI has changed the world.
A select few are already positioning themselves to grab a piece of the AI economy.
